Clear the defensible-space brush at a foothill ranch home, near Worland

The survey found sagebrush and juniper growing directly against the porch and a ladder-fuel path from ground brush into the nearest tree canopy — a credentialed crew clearing Zone 0 and thinning Zone 1 is what actually gives this home a defensible perimeter before the next dry summer. Standard: NFPA 1144 / Firewise USA structure-ignition-zone defensible-space assessment and vegetation management (Zone 0 0-5ft, Zone 1 5-30ft, Zone 2 30-100ft). Entry rung is documentation-only from a safe public vantage; hands-on vegetation clearing near structures/slopes is licensed or credentialed-crew work only. SDG 11.b resilience. Proof: before/after zone photos matching the survey vantage + spacing measurements + disposal confirmation + GPS Method (NFPA 1144 / Firewise USA structure-ignition-zone defensible-space assessment and vegetation management (Zone 0 0-5ft, Zone 1 5-30ft, Zone 2 30-100ft). Entry rung is documentation-only from a safe public vantage; hands-on vegetation clearing near structures/slopes is licensed or credentialed-crew work only. SDG 11.b resilience.): 1. Review the survey's zone findings with the crew lead and confirm the clearing plan against NFPA 1144 spacing targets before starting. 2. In Zone 0 (0-5 ft), remove all combustible vegetation, mulch, and stored firewood touching the structure. 3. In Zone 1 (5-30 ft), thin and space shrubs/trees to break up continuous fuel and remove ladder fuels beneath tree canopy. 4. Chip or haul the cleared material off-site (never pile against the structure), and photograph each zone from the survey's original vantage points to document the finished clearance. Done when: before/after zone photos matching the survey vantage + spacing measurements + disposal confirmation + GPS

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: NFPA 1144 / Firewise USA structure-ignition-zone defensible-space assessment — documentation-only from a safe public/yard vantage

Bring

• camera with zoom
• GPS-capable phone
• tape measure or pace-count reference
• Firewise USA zone checklist
• field notebook

Steps

1. 1. Document only — photograph Zone 0 (0-5 ft from the structure), Zone 1 (5-30 ft) and Zone 2 (30-100 ft) from the driveway or yard edge; never enter dense brush or approach a structurally questionable outbuilding.
2. 2. Note vegetation type, spacing and ladder-fuel presence (brush touching tree canopy) in each zone from the safe vantage.
3. 3. Photograph the roof material, gutters, vents, and any firewood or combustible material stacked against the structure.
4. 4. Compile the zone-by-zone findings into a defensible-space checklist naming what a licensed/credentialed vegetation-management crew should clear first; never clear, cut, or move anything during this survey.

If it does not match the plan

• Any combustible material (mulch, firewood, dry vegetation) touching the structure in Zone 0 -> flag as highest-priority clearing item.
• Ladder fuel (brush contacting tree canopy) found in Zone 1 -> flag for a credentialed crew's thinning pass.
• Any structurally unstable or fire-damaged outbuilding observed -> do not approach; note location only and route to the local fire authority.

What counts as done

• Photo set covering all three ignition zones from a safe, named vantage point
• Roof/gutter/combustible-storage condition photographed
• Zone-by-zone checklist compiled naming the follow-on clearing job

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
